Naruto Shippuden UNS: Generations |OT| Why is Shizune support only?

So this is the game to have since it will cover all the story from start to very recent plus stuff not covered in the first two games right? Sounds like an insane amount of content. Plus no rpg elements just fights and cut scenes? Perfect!
goes all the way until the start of the war.
 
OK so I've never played any of these games and know nothing about Naruto, but damn does that trailer make it look awesome. The visuals are fantastic, best cel-shading I've seen.

Is there a catch, or is it as awesome as it looks?

Is there any UK retailers selling the Card Edition online for import to Australia? It seems its exclusive to Zavvi? 45quid seems abit much.

Catches:

It's an anime licensed fighting game, so compared to unlicensed ones it won't be deep or competition worthy (if you care about that sort of thing)

I'm not sure if this one will have the boss fights? Those were some of the best moments of the previous ones.

Will post in here due to OT.

Does anyone have a link to a interview about the QTE's in the game? I know it was assured the QTE boss battles are back but I haven't seen one yet online.
Im ready for this game but, I hope there are more of these battles in the story this time around. There were so many missed opportunities with the last one where many fights were missing the QTE moments like Sasuke vs Deidara or Shikamaru vs Hidan. I get scared when I see a big roster like that. I feel it might take away from the SP experience.

I was really hoping for Rinnegan Tobi and Nagato. Expecting Storm 3 late next year probably, I just wish they went the DLC route and made add-ons to this one. It's a shame the anime moves at a snail's pace. ._.
Will still get this though!

Despite my enjoyment of the games and even that ubisoft game, never read or watched the show until now. Blitzed though most of the manga in about a month, which kinda sadly soured my opinion on the series as a whole, so that sucks.

Still, I liked the games enough not to let it effect me too much. Did ruin the character of naruto for though, clones is an awesome power, wasted on such a punk ass bitch.

damn, i really gotta finish up UNS2 now (cheap-ass Kakuzu fight...).

also, better question for the thread title: why is Shizune
still alive? seriously, Pain arc was awesome but the ending was such a goddamn cop-out.

I'll probably pick this one up over the summer. UNS2 was great. Agreed with what most reviews were saying. This one looks like a treat for fans of the series but I don't think it will draw in a new audience. UNS2 had a great fighting engine but poor(really sh!t) online functionality.

p.s Broken Bond is dope. One of the most balanced fighters this gen! XBOX 4 lyf lol

Ew. It looks like Zavvi have an exclusive on the Card Edition. It's up on amazon.es, so I may have to buy a Spanish copy (I assume it has english on the disc?)

Not much GAF love for this game :(
That's why I'm here. I'll talk to myself if I have to!

I thought Broken Bond (tried the first one yes that was rubbish) was ok in terms of single-player and graphics and that. But online it really shines. CC2 should have modeled UNS2's online in a similar way.

I haven't played any of the PS3 games, but loved the PS2 Ultimate Ninjas and even the PSP ones. Think I'll jump back in on this one.

The sound five are support only?! You're breaking my heart, Namco

Wow, looks like i'm not going to get this one.

I disagree. The world in that game was large, you actually utilized your characters abilities to get over obstacles, and the fighting was pretty fun.
The only issue is the balance of the characters, other than that, Broken Bond is my favorite Naruto game.

I have zero knowledge of the Naruto universe but I will be getting this game because my friends and I had a blast playing the last one drunk. Hours of fun.
 
I really don't understand the fascination with the Sound Four. Kimimaro, yeah, sure. But the other guys? Really? I mean I guess if you really want to recreate those fights with Chouji, Neji, Shikamaru and Kiba I get it. Chouji and Neji's were pretty damn good IIRC.
 
Naruto is amazing. The Manga has been amazing post the pain-arc.



Kishimoto has really developed as a Mangaka. You can feel that it's all going to end soon. I wonder if it really will end with Naruto becoming the Hokage. On the other hand I think he might become it, but that he will die. I don't see him surviving in the end.

What Shonen Jump series would kill off its lead character in the end? I cant think of any, so I doubt Naruto will go that route. I think it should end with Naruto saving Sasuke (how can he be hokage if he cant even save his best friend?), then a mini arc as they both rise to become hokage and related role in the village as an epilogue of sorts.

Thinking of buying the jap version, really sucks that the EU release is a whole month behind.

Not gonna happen, Naruto might die and be reborn as is usually done with the chosen one/Jesus archtype but he will definitely not stay dead. Naruto has been foreshadowed to change the entire ninja world/system, he can't do that when he's dead(or a mere hokage imo).

In the recent V Jump magazine, it has been announced that Generations will have 72 characters. There has been 71 announced so far. As desu has pointed out all rumours point to Kabuto
maru with Edo Tensei
